​Newmarket’s Gary Swanson and Dan Smith Wrong for School Board

Swanson and Smith should not be re-elected to serve on the Newmarket School Board as they have repeatedly violated the public trust.

Newmarket’s Gary Swanson and Dan Smith are both seeking re-election to the Newmarket School Board, this is terrible news for Newmarket teachers, students, and the community because both men lack the honesty and integrity to serve in any position of public trust.

Although I will say, if re-elected, they will serve in the company of other bad actors with similar faults.

Phil Nazzaro, Amy Tilton, and Andrew Heamker have all disgraced themselves as Newmarket school board members because they have shown no integrity or respect for the Constitution or laws of the state.

Not one of these five public officials deserves to serve in any position of public trust. The idea that these loathsome individuals have authority over others in matters of public trust is sickening.

Every current school board member is actively engaged in covering up crimes committed by prior school board members and former school superintendents. This is unacceptable behavior for any public official.

No teacher in Newmarket should work for these corrupt public officials; no Newmarket student should attend school while these bums hold office; and every voter should call for the removal from office of these corrupt public officials.
